A shelf that I made a couple of years ago is mounted on the wall on the way to the basement. It is nice to use for changing art shows. I had a taller painting on it and it kept getting into my shots of the chest of drawers displays. I decided to find three of the same size smaller in height rather than two feet high. My wife's first painting is one of Oscar's barn. It is now gone as the entire farmstead of my step grandfather has been totally leveled. The middle painting is one of my wife's of the Atlantic shoreline out on the Maine coastline. We visited our son out there a couple of years and the view is so wonderful. The last painting is mine of a Nebraska farm scene with an age old barn, smaller on a old farmstead where the house doesn't not stand anymore.
The mantel has been stipped of the Christmas things and the birds have returned. It is fun to change displays there also.
My wife has a porcelain collection and these are three of them. The light from the window glares onto the first piece causing it to be too pale in the photo.
We are at -1 degree F. this Sunday morning. There is not traffic out there as people find it too cold to be out there. We did get an inch of snow yesterday early morning but it wasn't anything that causes us to need to shovel. I saw man shoe prints yesterday along with their small dog paw prints on my sidewalk when I was out for the mail yesterday afternoon. We dodged that storm that is just south of us but we will have that below zero temps for a couple of days. I am glad I made a grocery run a day ago and we will stay in for the next few days. I have my first appointment on Tuesday and another on Thursday. Those things always break up a day and distrupt normal life.
Thanks for checking in today.
